Prayers for murder victims
Lord, we pray for a young woman who was killed in a domestic violence attack and for the apartment groundskeeper who tried to protect her. May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
**Prayer for the grieving **
Father of all mercies and God of consolation, You love us eternally and transform the shadows of death into the dawn of life. Look upon our grief; be our refuge and comfort so that our sadness and sorrow may turn into the light and peace of Your Presence. In dying, Your Son destroyed death; in rising, He restored life. Grant that at the end of our earthly pilgrimage we may be found in His company with our brothers and sisters. There, You shall wipe away every tear. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
